GNRC Generac Holdings Inc
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Generac reported Q1 2026 EPS of $1.61 (adjusted $1.80), beating the $1.33 consensus by 21.2%, on revenue of $1.06B (+12% YoY) vs $1.05B consensus. The company raised full-year 2026 guidance: net sales growth now mid-to-high teens (from mid-teens) and adjusted EBITDA margin 18.5-19.5% (from 18.0-19.0%), driven by data center backlog and the Enercon acquisition. This is a strong beat with raised guidance, indicating accelerating momentum in the C&I segment.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The raised guidance and strong C&I data center momentum are the key catalysts. Watch for hyperscale customer vendor approvals and further margin expansion from Enercon integration. The stock likely gaps up on the beat-and-raise; consider taking profits if the move exceeds 8-10% intraday given the 69% bullish analyst consensus already priced in.
Key Facts
- Q1 2026 GAAP EPS $1.24 vs $0.73 YoY; adjusted EPS $1.80 vs $1.26 YoY

Financial Impact
EPS beat consensus by $0.28 (21.2%), revenue beat by ~$10M (1%). Raised guidance implies ~$200-300M incremental revenue at midpoint vs prior guidance.
Risk Factors
- Residential segment growth remains tepid (+1%) and could weaken if home standby demand normalizes post-hurricane season
- Tariff exposure and raw material costs could pressure margins if not fully recovered
- Data center backlog conversion to revenue may be lumpy; hyperscale agreements not yet assumed in guidance
